SOME FUN: Inglorious Bastards
UNSEEN BUT CURIOUS: The Places Promised in Our Early Days BR, and Stargate Continuum BR
NOT REALLY: Voice, The Sum of All Fears BR and Vengeance BR
DEFINITE PASS: Man, Woman, and a Wall, and Beowulf BR
New Reviews:
The Terence Davis Trilogy - While at
Coventry Drama School in the early 1970s, Terence Davies wrote the script for
Children which he directed in 1976. He subsequently took up a place at The
National Film School and with the support of the BFI Production Board, made his
graduation film Madonna and Child (1980). Three years later, also
part-funded by the BFI, he completed the Trilogy with Death and
Transfiguration. DVD Release Date: June 23rd, 2008
Stargate Continuum
BR - Stargate SG-1 has maintained a high level of
competence out of the box from its launch on Showtime in 1997 until its move to
the Sci-Fi Channel several years later, when production levels fell along with
the budget.) The series, developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, picked
up roughly where the original theatrical film with Kurt Russell and James Spader
left off - with Col. Jack O'Neil and Galactic archaeologist, Dr, Daniel Jackson,
now played by Richard Dean Anderson (who has also served as executive producer
for about half the episodes) and Michael Shanks.
Blu-ray Release Date: July 29th, 2008
Lonesome Dove BR
- Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Larry McMurtry and set in the
late nineteenth century, this sprawling epic of the Old West is the story of the
last defiant frontier, a daring cattle drive, and an undying love. Featuring
epic performances by Robert Duvall, Tommy lee Jones, Angelica Houston, Diane
Lane, Danny Glover, Robert Urich, and Chris Cooper, Lonesome Dove continues to
be a treasured classic for generations to come....
Blu-ray Released: August 4th, 2008
Beowulf BR
- You don�t need to wait for Angelina Jolie to rise from the vaporous depths
naked and dripping liquid gold to know that this �Beowulf� isn�t your
high school teacher�s Old English epic poem. You don�t even have to wait for the
flying spears and airborne bodies that � if you watch the movie in one of the
hundreds of theaters equipped with 3-D projection � will look as if they�re
hurtling directly at your head. You could poke your eye out with one of those
things! Which is precisely what I thought when I first saw Ms. Jolie�s jutting
breasts too. Blu-ray Release date: July 29th,
The Places Promised in Our Early Days
BR - The setting for The Place Promised
in Our Early Days is an alternate timeline subsequent to the end WWII in
which, as far as Japan was concerned, the northern island of Hokkaido was broken
off from a Japan/U.S. Alliance into a political entity known only as the "Union"
� a curious name, considering that the southern communities would have preferred
no separation at all and, in fact, rebellious factions arise that would seek to
achieve just that, by violent means if necessary.
Blu-ray Release date: April 18th, 2008
The Long Day Closes - Eleven-year-old Bud
(a heartbreaking performance from Leigh McCormack) finds escape from the
greyness of '50s Britain through trips to the cinema and in the warmth of family
life. But as he gets older, the agonies of the adult world; the casual cruelty
of bullying, the tyranny of school and the dread of religion, begin to invade
his life. DVD Release Date: July 28th, 2008
Clear and Present Danger
BR - Taming the eyeball-glazing prose of Tom
Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" with the same brisk efficiency they
brought to "Patriot Games," the makers of this latest espionage thriller have
made their first-rate work look easy. And clearly, it was anything but. No
amount of exercise under the hot sun will beat the workout involved in following
this story, with its dozens of locations, interchangeable-sounding character
names (Cutter, Ritter, Clark, Ryan, many more) and high-tech military jargon. A
film with a "cellulose encased laser-guided bomb" for a conversation piece is
not to be watched casually. Blu-ray Release
Date: July 29th, 2008
La vie de J�sus - A shocker at Cannes
because of its unromanticized coverage of real sex, Bruno Dumont's
provocatively-titled, Cinemascope film is about a group of misdirected friends
in the Northern French countryside. It centers on epileptic, chronically
unemployed Freddy, his intense couplings with sexy Marie, and his motorcycle
rides with his bored, nothing-else-to-do pals. One day, an Arab boy appears in
the town, and has eyes for Marie. Racism and revenge follow. Dumont used local,
non-professional actors to create a naturalistic portrait of rural Flanders for
one of the most critically praised French films of recent years. The MoC DVD
Release Date: July 21st, 2008
Inglorious Bastards - Product Description:
"Whatever THE DIRTY DOZEN did," screamed the ads, "they do it dirtier!"
INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is more than just the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's
long-rumored next movie; this 1978 international smash remains perhaps the
biggest and most badass war movie in EuroCult history! Exploitation legends Fred
'The Hammer' Williamson and Bo Svenson star as the leaders of a gang of
condemned criminals who escape from an Allied prison camp with a plan to blast
their way to the Swiss border, only to find themselves 'volunteering' for a
suicide mission deep inside Nazi occupied France. Academy Award nominee Ian
Bannen co-stars in this explosive action epic from director Enzo Castellari, now
fully restored from original vault elements for the first time ever in America!
DVD Release Date: July 29th, 2008
Man, Woman, and a Wall - Yes, don't get
your hopes up - no matter how it is marketed - there are no obvious artistic
aspirations in this Japanese 'Red Shoes Diary' wannabe. Basically - it is a male
sexual fantasy. This guy (Hiroto Kato) moves in next to this hottie neighbor (Aoi
Sola - hardcore Japanese star) and the rest is straightening out her life (with
eavesdropping) - while attempting to, hopefully, bed her. Although he finds that
his unhealthy fantasies about her have a stronger appeal than actually getting
her clothes off. Production values are a couple of notches above a student film
and it's amusing while remaining a, perhaps unintentional, spoof of guy-oriented
relationship goals. DVD Release Date: July 29th, 2008
Voice - The fourth film in the "Girl's High
School Horror" series, this moving film is less emotionally compelling than
MEMENTO MORI (the second in the series) but seems to have balanced the
emotional and horrific elements better than the former film (in which the
filmmakers disagreed about the horror component). That said, while the plot is
diverting, the scripting itself is less subtle. The minutae of the relationships
between the girls and their cliques is glossed over and contrasted with one very
banal lecture by one of the male professors on the meaning of life being the
pursuit of happiness (which is defined by a good job, good health, good credit,
and sociability). In spite of that, VOICE is still a more worthy effort than
most of the more recent and derivate J-horror, K-horror, and their American
remakes and rip-offs. DVD Release Date: July 15th, 2008
The Sum of All Fears
BR - The movie is based on another of Clancy's fearfully factual
stories about Jack Ryan, the CIA agent, this time a good deal younger than
Harrison Ford's Ryan in "A Clear and Present Danger" and played by Ben
Affleck. It follows the ancient convention in which the hero goes everywhere
important and personally performs most of the crucial actions, but it feels less
contrived because Clancy has expertise about warfare and national security
issues; the plot is a device to get us from one packet of information to
another. Blu-ray Release Date: July 29th, 2008
The Hunt For Red October
BR - "The Hunt for Red October" has
more than a dozen important speaking roles, in addition to many more cast
members who are crucial for a scene or two. Any film with a cast this large must
depend to some extent on typecasting. We couldn't keep the characters straight
any other way. What McTiernan does is to typecast without stereotyping.
Blu-ray Release Date: July 29th, 2008
Privilege - Peter Watkins is the supreme
master and very nearly the inventor of the pseudo-documentary, which he uses as
an unorthodox way of recounting history or projecting contemporary trends into
the near-future. This dystopian New Yorker release is about the fascist takeover
of Great Britain, with a duped and manipulated messianic rock singer (Paul
Jones, lead singer of Manfred Mann in his first film role) used as a political
as well as marketing tool. This comes from Watkins� greatest period to date,
which also produced Culloden (1964) and The War Game (1965). DVD Release
Date: July 29th, 2008
The Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection -
Fox brings together 10 Tyrone Power features from a 15 year stint at that studio
including Girls' Dormitory (1936), Love Is News (1937), Caf�
Metropole (1937), Second Honeymoon (1937), Day-Time Wife
(1939), Johnny Apollo (1940), This Above All (1942), The Luck
of the Irish (1948) and That Wonderful Urge (1948) and I'll Never
Forget You (1951). DVD Release Date: July 29th, 2008
The Perfect Storm
BR - "The Perfect Storm" is a well-crafted example of a film
of pure sensation. It is about ships tossed by a violent storm. The film doesn't
have complex and involving characters, but they are not needed. It doesn't tell
a sophisticated story and doesn't need to; the main events are known to most of
the audience before the movie begins. All depends on the storm. I do not mind
admitting I was enthralled. Blu-ray Released:
July 22nd, 2008
Vengeance BR
- VENGEANCE is the twin stories of young men Wut and Naso, both of whom
are tied to a tragedy they experienced as boys and now each occupying opposite
ends of the legal and moral spectrum. Wut is the captain of a small police force
that follows Naso�s band of thieves and killers deep into forbidden mountains
and jungles. Neither realizes that the large coin that Naso has in his
possession is at the center of their misfortune and is the nexus of the evil
that grips the cursed forests of the Thai-Myanmar border. As the chase descends
more deeply into darkness, the groups are attacked by malevolent animals and
even more malicious creatures, some of them not fully human. It is only when
Captain Wut reaches the center of the paradox of his life that he is able to
gain an empty victory over lawlessness and evil.

Oct. 24, 1926 - April 20, 2011
Longtime Homer resident Angelo J. Hillas died bravely and with dignity on April 20, 2011. He was known by many as simply "Angelo."
The son of Greek immigrants, he was born in the coal mining town of Hiawatha, near Price, Utah. Largely to prevent him from becoming a coal miner, his family left Utah and moved to Modesto, Calif., in 1938. He graduated from Modesto High in 1944, and was then drafted and served in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the South Pacific. After WWII, he graduated from Modesto Junior College and then San Jose State University with a degree in accounting. He was called back to active duty in the U.S. Air Force in 1951, during the Korean War, and continued to serve in the USAF Reserve until 1964. He ultimately achieved the rank of captain.
On return to Modesto, he met and married Melva Moore, his wife for 52 years. They moved to Homer with children Marcia and John Hillas in 1964, where he was the first deputy assessor for the Homer area for the Kenai Peninsula Borough. When the borough wanted to consolidate local offices to Soldotna in 1969, he wanted to stay in Homer, so he quit and started Homer Bookkeeping Service. In the early years after quitting the borough, he worked as a construction laborer to help make ends meet. As one of the only persons in Alaska outside of Anchorage with appraisal experience, he began performing real estate appraisals in the early 1970s, and later sold Homer Bookkeeping and started Hillas Appraisal Company. He built the Hillas Building next to the Homer Theatre in 1973, and enlarged it to its present size in 1974. He continued to appraise real estate all over the peninsula until retirement at age 79 in 2005. Angelo and Melva also started a cinnamon roll restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii, as well as the Liquor Cabinet liquor store at Pioneer and Bartlett. He was very active in community affairs, and was Homer's Citizen of the Year in 1969. He served as president of the chamber of commerce, and was very involved with the local Elks and Rotary. He was the Exalted Ruler of the Homer Elks for two years, and also served as the District Deputy to the Grand Exalted Ruler (National President) of the Elks. A highlight of his involvement with Rotary was a trip to Siberia. An avid hunter and fisherman, he loved the outdoors and boating on the bay. He and Melva traveled all over the world and loved seeing new places. He easily made friends everywhere and touched the lives of many. He was a master of many crafts, and could build or repair almost anything. He was preceded in death by his wife, Melva, in 2008, and their daughter, Marcia in 2011. Survivors include his son John and his wife Anne; loving grandchildren and great grandchildren; brother, Mike Hillas; and sisters Helen Baney, Connie Bird and Irene Briggs, all of Modesto, Calif.
He was buried next to Melva and many relatives at Lakewood Memorial Park in Hughson, Calif. following memorial services at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Modesto.

Savior sibling
A saviour sibling or savior sibling (see spelling differences) is a child who is born to provide an organ or cell transplant to a sibling that is affected with a fatal disease, such as cancer or Fanconi anemia, that can best be treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The savior sibling is conceived through in vitro fertilization. Fertilized zygotes are tested for genetic compatibility (human leucocyte antigen (HLA) typing), using preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), and only zygotes that are compatible with the existing child are implanted. Zygotes are also tested to make sure they are free of the original genetic disease. The procedure is controversial.[1][2][3]
A savior sibling may be the solution for any disease treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It is effective against genetically detectable (mostly monogenic) diseases, e.g. Fanconi anemia,[4] Diamond-Blackfan anemia[5] and β-thalassemia, in the ailing sibling, since the savior sibling can be selected to not have inherited the disease. The procedure may also be used in children with leukemia, and in such cases HLA match is the only requirement, and not exclusion of any other obvious genetic disorder.
Multiple embryos are created and preimplantation genetic diagnosis is used to detect and select ones that are free of a genetic disorder and that are also a HLA match for an existing sibling who requires a transplant. Upon birth, umbilical cord blood is taken and used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- In the United Kingdom, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has ruled that it is lawful to use modern reproductive techniques to create a savior sibling.[5]
- In Victoria, Australia, use of PGD for HLA typing is reviewed by the Infertility Treatment Authority on a case-by-case basis.[1]
Ethical considerations[edit]
Arguments for or against the use of PGD/HLA tissue typing are based on several key issues including the commodification and welfare of the donor child.[1]
The main ethical argument against is the possible exploitation of the child, e.g. potential adverse psychological effects on a child born not for itself but to save another.[5]
A survey of 4,000 Americans showed that 61% approved of PGD use for savior siblings.[6]
Yury Verlinsky and collaborators described the first case in 2001.[7]
Popular Culture[edit]
The novel My Sister's Keeper, later adapted into a film is about a child who was born as a savior sibling.
In Emmerdale, the British Soap Opera Debbie Dingle gave birth to her son Jack who would serve as a saviour sibling to his older sister Sarah who was suffering from Fanconi anemia.

Veteran Sam Edney was part of the best-ever Olympic performances by the Canadian luge team at Sochi 2014 when he joined with Alex Gough, Tristan Walker and Justin Snith for a fourth place finish in the inaugural Olympic team relay. Edney also finished 11th in the singles event, four years after he posted the best-ever result by a Canadian man in Olympic luge competition thanks to his seventh place finish at Vancouver 2010.
Edney is poised to make his break onto an international podium after finishing fifth at the 2013 World Championships. Not only was he the highest-ranked non-German, he posted the best-ever result by a Canadian-born man.
Edney has been competing on the World Cup circuit for more than a decade and made his world championship debut in 2003. Since then he has shown steady progression. Edney is vital to the success of the team relay, particularly because his reaction time to the gate dropping is amongst the best in the world, evidenced by him being the quickest of the men at Sochi 2014. It is those reflexes that helped Canada to win silver at the 2013 World Championships, following bronze in 2012.
2013 World Championship silver medallist (team relay)… 2012 World Championship bronze medalllist (team relay)… 5th at 2013 World Championships… 7th at 2010 Olympic Winter Games…
Getting Into the Sport: Got started in luge at age 14 when his grade nine gym teacher suggested he try the sport because of his athletic aptitude and the belief that his body would grow to be a good fit for luge… He was drawn by the speed and the thought of travelling internationally to represent Canada… Outside Interests: In-season hobbies include reading, video editing and blogging… Off-season hobbies include fly fishing, hiking, camping and mountain biking… Enrolled at Quest University in Squamish, BC where he is working towards his Bachelor of Arts and Sciences… Olympic Memories: Attended a few events in his hometown during Calgary 1988, but fully realized the power of the Olympic Games and how amazing the athletes are while watching Donovan Bailey and the Canadian men's 4x100m relay team in Atlanta 1996… Had the opportunity to travel to Salt Lake City with his dad to watch the 2002 Olympic Winter Games which was a huge moment for him because he was by that time competing in luge… Odds and Ends: Superstition: Right glove MUST go on first when getting geared up… Always travels with iPod and Kindle… Collects stickers when he travels… Favourite quote: All I can be is me, whoever that is – Bob Dylan… Charity involvement: Classroom Champions, Clean Air Champions, Branch Out Foundation…
FIL World Championships: 2013 – 5th (singles), SILVER (team relay); 2012 – 7th (singles), BRONZE (team relay); 2011 – 16th (singles); 2009 – 17th (singles), DQ (team relay); 2008 – 9th (singles); 2007 – 32nd (singles)

CONTENTS · BIBLIOGRAPHIC�RECORD · SUBJECT INDEX Edward William Bok (18631930). The Americanization of Edward Bok. 1921. |
The next day he said: I asked that stenographer friend of yours not to come again. No use of my trying to dictate. I am too old to learn new tricks. Much easier for me to write myself. Shortly after that, however, Mr. Beecher dictated to Edward some material for a book he was writing. Edward naturally wondered at this, and asked the stenographer what had happened. Nothing, he said. Only Mr. Beecher asked me how much it would cost you to have me come to him each week. I told him, and then he sent me away. That was Henry Ward Beecher! Edward Bok was in the formative period between boyhood and young manhood when impressions meant lessons, and associations meant ideals. Mr. Beecher never disappointed. The closer one got to him, the greater he becamein striking contrast to most public men, as Edward had already learned. Then, his interests and sympathies were enormously wide. He took in so much! One day Edward was walking past Fulton Market, in New York City, with Mr. Beecher. Never skirt a market, the latter said; always go through it. Its the next best thing, in the winter, to going South. |

Topic: Seyyed Hossein Nasr
ISNA's Anti-Semitic, Anti-Bahai Speaker
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is a Muslim Brotherhood-inspired group which declares as its mission "to be an exemplary and unifying Islamic organization in North America" and to "advance the cause of Islam in North America." Well-funded, in part by donations from the Emir of Qatar and other elements in the Persian Gulf, ISNA not only has become an interlocutor with the White House despite its status as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror finance case, but goes so far as to claim to be the credentialing organization for American imams, including Muslim chaplains serving in the U.S. military.
Over Labor Day weekend, ISNA sponsored its annual conference in Washington, DC. Among its featured speakers was Seyyed Hossein Nasr, professor of Islamic Studies at the George Washington University, who addressed a panel titled, "Interweaving Religion & Life in a Moral Society." ISNA's choice of Nasr to promote a moral society is deeply troubling. In October 2009, Nasr attended a reception at the Islamic Republic of Iran's Interest Section in Washington, D.C. The Iranian press published an account of his comments there:

The darling hubby and I were lucky enough to have all day together on Friday. We worked, we cleaned, we just enjoyed each other's company. And we prepared...Friday night was the long awaited date night!!
We shower and change, get all primped and pimped. We went to dinner, we went to our friend's bar and watched another friend's band. Then we headed up to Providence to go to our favorite little hole in the wall....and the bar that Dan's hockey coach works at. We saw a couple parking spots on the street, but then we noticed the wide open parking lot (red flag!!) and decided it was safer so we parked there...there were no signs, no baricades...just an open lot. A couple of hours of pool and hanging out and we were ready to go....sadly our car had already gone. 2 miles away to a tow lot!!! Fortunately for us, Coach was able to give us a lift to the ATM (of course they only took cash) and then to the lot....and fortunate for us it was not freezing out as we stood outside the gated lot, staring longingly at our sweet silver Jetta. A half out later, we freed our car, went home, and fell into bed.
I wish the storey ended there. Let me tell you that in the 10 years that I have known Dan he has NEVER puked, at least not that I am aware of. Friday night (actually Saturday morning....very very very early) he broke that streak. I was sound asleep when I felt him jump up and dash downstairs. Poor guy was sick all day on Saturday. Fortunately I had already made plans to be out with the little guys all day so he could just stay home and be miserable. We are even more fortunate that it was actually very short lived, by Sunday he was much much better!! We really aren't quite sure what it was, but we think it was mild food poisoning.....anyway.....
That's how we do it....never a dull moment for this family...even when we just have a quiet date planned!!

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
good quality intro, sounds good on the ears.
subtle speedup before the drop was a good addition to this song's style.
i like the variation in the wobbles :)
sounds a bit mad, fits.
sad about the ending tho.. shouldn't have cut it off the way you did imo
BreakTheSilence responds:
Appreciate the Positive feedback, i'll be sure to make a few adjustments , maybe work on an outro ;)

Asian Brands
For a very long time my favorite mascara was Majolica Majorca Lash Expander. This is a branch off brand created by Shiseido and at one time available exclusively within Japan but now it's available in other Asian countries, just not, sadly, the US.
One of the most common questions I get about Lash Expander is how do I remove it? I've never had a problem removing the mascara but for some reason or another many people who use and love it have complained, ranted, and had major woe getting it all off. I simply use my normal oil based eye makeup remover but again, for some reason, that doesn't seem to work for everyone.
This Fall, Majolica Majorca finally created and released Eyes Reset Gel for removing mascara. This is an exciting release for those who have had drama in the past with removing any mascaras by the brand. I was keen to try it myself out of morbid curiosity even though my normal remover worked just fine.
Jump ahead to hear my thoughts.

Lord knows I'm a high end cosmetic junkie. I live by the rule, "you get what you pay for". Dishing out $20 for an eyeshadow that easily blends, has plenty of pigment, and simply looks stunning is way better than dishing out $5 for one that blends awful, has a chalky formula, and just looks awful on my eyes.
You get what you pay for.
However, some drugstore cosmetics have convinced me that they deserve a special spot among my elite high end cosmetic brands.
Here's a post that checks out the best of both worlds and includes the best High End Cosmetics vs. the best Drugstore Cosmetics.

Break into Fontaine Futuristics
There's not much of interest in the initial train station part of the stage. Move south to the next room and you'll start to hear the chatter of splicers ahead. On your left, you should clearly spot the Alone at Last audio diary. Grab it, then move to the end of the balcony and snipe the two splicers below.
Head east to the next room and collect the Damage Research gene tonic that's neatly presented for you. Go down the stairs to the south to get an updated objective. Head into the airlock and activate the switch on the right to venture outdoors.
Find Gil Alexander's next recording
As you wander through the underwater outdoors, you'll drop down a level. Look to the right and you can pick up an ADAM worm in the middle of the remains of some hull frame. There's nothing else to look after so just move south to the next air lock and hit the switch to enter Fontaine Futuristics.
Fontaine Futuristics
You'll spot what looks like a security bot float away as you enter the building. Just ahead, up some stairs, you can spy into a large room with the faux security bot (it can't be hacked) and a bunch of Houdini and leadhead splicers. Line up a snipe to take out of the splicers and the security bot will electrocute the others.
Stay in this side room to the north and wait for the Houdinis and leadheads to come to you. You want to funnel them through the narrow doorway for easy killing, but watch for Houdinis that spawn behind you.

To Sen. Chuck Grassley: I want my freedom. I want to be able to walk down my block, go to a movie theater and go to a national park without the fear of someone carrying a weapon such as used in Newtown, Conn.
You have an obligation to the citizens of Iowa and the United States to prevent this. It is your duty as a senator from Iowa that these assault weapons are banned. The only reason why these weapons exist is to kill. The gun manufacturers are looking to increase profits at the expense of the lives of U.S. citizens. Why is this OK? Why is this the status quo?
The next death by such weapons will be on your conscience. Can you answer to your God faithfully?

Consolidation of servers in datacentres through virtualisation
has clear benefits to companies but the benefits are overstated by suppliers,
says an Impact Research report from Info-Tech Research Group.
"In their pitches to customers, suppliers tend to exaggerate the number
of servers that can actually be consolidated which can be misleading
for enterprises looking to invest in this technology," comments Matt
Brudzynski, senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group.
"Suppliers are quoting high consolidation ratios of 12 or more virtual
machines per processor, while in reality only about half that, six
virtual machines per processor is the common average at this time."
Info-Tech's Impact Research report, "The Business Case in
Virtualisation", says that the high consolidation rates touted by
suppliers aren't actually happening because customers need to leave
adequate capacity on existing host servers for load-balancing,
emergency back-up, and ensuring adequate data throughput to disc
The company found that the leading providers of X.86 server
consolidation technology are VMware and Microsoft.
"The industry is moving closer to the target of higher consolidation
rates with introduction of quad-core processors that are at the early
stages of deployment in the marketplace," adds Brudzynski.
"These processors provide greater throughput to disc storage and will help
suppliers more effectively deliver on consolidation promises."
Prior to implementing virtualisation, Info-Tech advises IT managers to
do thorough analysis of server utilisation data over the past year, as
well as workload forecasting and future performance modelling to ensure
the right technology choices are made to achieve desired consolidation,
Info-Tech advises.

TPI - the most advanced indirect tire pressure monitoring system
• Indirect detection of pressure drops in 1, 2, 3 or 4 tires
• Determines tire inflation pressure using wheel speed signals
• Delivered as a software component
75% of flat tires are caused by under-inflation or slow leakage and tire problems are the third most common reason for passenger vehicle breakdowns. Fuel consumption increases 1.5% and the life span of a tire decreases 15% with every 0.2 bar the tire is under-inflated. Approximately 20% of all passenger cars have tires which are under-inflated by up to 40%. NIRA Dynamics has the solution to these problems: An indirect tire pressure monitoring system (iTPMS) called TPI.
TPI was introduced in Europe in the Audi TT during 2006 and in USA in the Audi A6 during 2008. TPI fulfills the FMVSS 138 and the ECE-R 64 requirements for TPMS.
With the Tire Pressure Indicator, TPI, the driver will be alerted if any of the tires is under-inflated long before the tire breaks down. This improves safety. It also improves economy and decreases the environmental impact since tire wear and fuel consumption are reduced when tires are correctly inflated. TPI is a software solution which determines the tire inflation pressure from the wheel speed signals and does not require any in-wheel pressure sensors and RF components. TPI is therefore very cost effective. Due to its AUTOSAR compliant interface, it also quick and easy to integrate into various systems running on different hardwares.
The performance of TPI is comparable to a direct sensor-based system, but at a significantly lower total cost.
TPI is capable of detecting pressure drops in one, two, three, or even up to all four tires. TPI can also point out (isolate) the under inflated tire(s). The system is very robust against surface changes, load variations and driving styles. Also, TPI automatically adjusts to different types of tires: summer tires, winter tires, studded winter tires, run-flat tires etc.
A smarter solution for tire pressure monitoring
- Increased safety
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Reduced tire wear
No in-wheel sensors needed!
- Low cost
- High performance
- Fulfills FMVSS 138
- Fulfills ECE-R 64
Equipped vehicles
In 2006, the Audi TT was the first vehicle in Europe that featured TPI as an option. In 2007, the Audi A4 and Audi A5 models followed. During 2008 TPI was introduced in the USA in the Audi A6. Currently TPI is installed in the following models
Audi | SEAT | Skoda | VW | Chery | MG |
TT | Exeo | Praktik | Polo | Arrizo 7 | MG3 |
A1 | Toledo | Roomster | Golf | ||
A3 | Alhambra | Fabia | EOS | ||

Joe Sakic is in charge now
How he'll do in his new role 'in charge of all hockey-related decisions' remains to be seen; not all ex-NHL stars have been successful in management. But the fact Sakic believes ownership is "committed to this franchise and want us to get back to where we used to be" says something. Remember, Sakic didn't need to take this job. That ownership, which has been accused of neglecting the hockey part of its sports-business empire, cared enough to pursue him may also say something about its desire to start filling the rink again. Because the only way that's going to happen is with more wins. That said, don't expect Sakic to get a blank checkbook. New team president Josh Kroenke — the son of owner Stan Kroenke — said today the Avs wouldn't be spending just to spend.
Young talent down the middle
Sakic stated a bit of the obvious today when he said the key to winning is having great players. But it still needed to be said. A team can have a great owner, great GM and great coach, but if the players aren't there, there's no hope. Fortunately, the Avs have two very good young centers in Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly, and no championship team lacks talent down the middle. In fact, that's often where it starts. Whether Paul Stastny fits into their plans going forward will be worth watching. The 27-year-old has one year remaining on his contract, with a cap hit of $6.6 million. His production the last few seasons hasn't been worth the price.
The first overall pick in the 2013 draft
What do this year's three Hart Trophy finalists all have in common? All were chosen first overall. The Avs' first pick will likely be used to select Portland Winterhawks defenseman Seth Jones. Not only is Jones thought by many to be the best player available, Colorado's back end was a major issue again in 2013. Too many scoring chances were surrendered and not enough offense was generated. Jones might not be able to turn things around right away; however, when you consider the impact puck-moving blue-liners like Erik Karlsson and PK Subban have made at a young age, it might not take long. (Yes, we realize Erik Johnson went first overall. They don't all turn into superstars, but a lot of them do.)
A new coach on the way
It's pretty clear there was some dysfunction in Colorado under recently fired Joe Sacco's watch. Before he hires a new bench boss, Sakic would be wise to find out what really was going on, and who was to blame. Maybe Sakic needs to ship out some players. (We doubt Jean-Sebastien Giguere would mind sharing his thoughts.) Two questions Sakic will need to ask and answer before he picks his coach: What kind of style should the Avs play? Does the team need a fresh voice (think Adam Oates), or does it need a steady, experienced hand (think Ken Hitchcock)?
- hockeyflow33 - May 10, 2013 at 6:09 PM
How much of Stastny's decline can be attributed to the team's overall lack of talent?
- DTF31 - May 10, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Maybe, but he just isn't playing the same any more. Its a weird thing to quantify but whatever it was that stirred his mojo isn't stirring right now. I wouldn't say he's injured necessarily, but he almost looks "uncomfortable" playing hockey.
- govtminion - May 10, 2013 at 7:05 PM
With guys like Landeskog, Duchene, O'Reilly, Varlamov, etc. playing alongside him, Stastny has as good of a set of young forwards with him as any in the league. It would be one thing if he were on a team like Calgary or Dallas, but if the talent around him is a problem in Denver, I don't know how to help him at this point.
- andidee15 - May 11, 2013 at 12:48 AM
It's possible that spending most of his ice time 200 feet away from the opposition's net over the past couple years may have something to do with it too.
He got easy minutes as a young player, but now that he's the veteran and needs to take on harder matchups, his point totals have dropped. He still had a lack-luster season, but part of that was due to being misused and his linemates having awful years as well.
I'd personally like to see the Avs stick with Duchene and O'Reilly, but if/when Stastny gets a 2nd line role somewhere, he's going to bounce back like crazy.
- hockeyflow33 - May 11, 2013 at 1:04 AM
I like that I was thumbed down for an actual question.
I don't think I saw any Avalanche games this year so I would assume his production dip wasn't due to a sudden loss of skill but more attributable to the team he plays on. I was curious what people who saw him thought, my mistake for asking I suppose.
- jernster21 - May 11, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Stastny centers McGinn and Jones primarily – Jones had an absolutely horrific season – both he and McGinn had been healthy scratches this season, and Jones for more than one game. Stastny was still 3rd in points on the team even though the numbers weren't exactly impressive. When Stastny plays well he's a solid two way center who CAN play well in his own end and is also good on faceoffs, so it's not all about points with him. Duchene was awful defensively in previous seasons but really took a huge step forward this season. Point is, Stastny is mostly a setup man – he needs to be surrounded by people who can bury the puck – when he can draw defenseman to him and dish it off to guys who can bury on a regular basis, it creates room for him to score as well, and he's generally still good for 15-20 goals even if they aren't glamorous.
With that said, he's going into the last year of a contract that has been a headache for this team for the last 5 years. I'm not sure I see him getting resigned unless it's for significantly less than what he's making now and I think he'll get more on the open market than what the Avs are willing to offer, so don't be surprised if he's moved next year. With Duchene, O'Reilly and Mitchell down the middle he has become expendable for other needs.
- pitpenguinsrulez - May 10, 2013 at 6:20 PM
I always liked Joe Sakic when he played. I never once had an issue with him. I was glad to see him and the Avs help Bourque get his long awaited Stanley Cup in 2001 vs. Jersey.
- photographybygraham - May 10, 2013 at 8:59 PM
I've gotta think that someone like Guy Boucher would be a good fit here.
- polegojim - May 10, 2013 at 9:17 PM
Ok… I'm a pessimist on anything AVS… call me when his decisions become productive.
At this point, he starts with zero credit as an ops guy, just like Elway.
Elway has proven his value… Joe must do so.. and FAST.
I'll judge him immediately by his Head Coach choice… better not be a Granato/Sacco type.
Hitch… I'd buy that one for sure.

Not only do Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston have plenty of new projects on the way, the rest of the cast has some titles lined up too.... Read More
Dublin-born photographer Tony Kelly has a problem he's got the perfect life. I may have called him early in the morning for our interview, but even when pulling himself from the haze of sleepiness, Tony exudes charm and likability (which may have been due in part to his accent or possibly because he was awaking at 7 a.m. in Waikiki)....

Who doesn't love Joseph Gordon-Levitt lately? Seriously, go outside and try to find someone I'll wait. You had a tough time, didn't you? Between his romantic offerings like (500) Days of Summer and his gun-toting Bruce Willis flicks like Looper (not to mention his playing the coolest Robin Gotham City has had since well, since ever), JGL has an all-around appeal Hollywood doesn't snatch up very often....

Arizona Wildcats
Wildcats QB Matt Scott invited to NFL Combine
Last April quarterback Nick Foles became the first Arizona Wildcats passer to be drafted since 1961.
A third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona's career leader in virtually every significant passing category made his debut in November, ending another long (and somewhat embarrassing) drought for the school.
Well, the gap between Foles and the next UA QB to be drafted likely won't be nearly as long as the one between Foles and Eddie Wilson.
Matt Scott, who threw for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior, has been invited to the NFL's Scouting Combine.
Scott enters the 2013 draft season as an interesting prospect. He started just one full season at the collegiate level, and flashed solid arm strength to go along with mobility that many NFL teams seem to be looking for.
And while he may not be one of the top prospects at this moment, the fact that he's been invited to showcase his ability for scouts proves there's a decent amount of interest in his skills.
